It's been a week since we got our 04 Audi Cabriolet, my wife misses the comfort and stability of the A8 while driving the cabriolet. It's obvious that 2 cars are totally different, in both sizes and build. We both like to drive the cabriolet, it's nimble, quiet, solid, comfortable and very easy to drive because of its size. The car feels heavy and stable for a small car. Wind...
These days newer cars have built in universal remote which is very convenient and COOL . Our new (used) 2004 Cabriolet does come with one and I had to try to program it for our garage door. The new garage door unit these days have security feature built-in called rolling codes (Genie) and it needs to be paired up with each new remote. The programming on the Audi has been...
We owned Audis that have remote key fobs and driver memory seat, it's great for family members to drive the car without having re-adjusting the seat everytime we use the same car. The driver seat can have up to 4 memory positions, which means we can also have 4 key fobs with different positions if we need to. Our kids are little, so we only have 2 drivers: me and...
I've been looking for a convertible for over a year now. I used to have Lancia Scorpion, Fiat Spider, Alfa Romeo Spider and I loved them, especially living in sunny CA.

But it's going to be a cabriolet, since the summer is coming and the sun should be bright and warm in Northern CA, nothing better than driving the family in a 4 seater convertible, especially 4-Rings one. The kids love the test drive and the color. Anyhow, last night I took some...
My father's been driving my old 98 A6 for 8 years now, it's 13 years old and he claims that the car is bouncy and wobble when driving over bumps and uneven roads. He is thinking about the shocks, but the tires do wear out evenly, I suspect the control arms are at fault. Anyhow, he lives about 500 miles away, so I can't just come over and inspect the...
To remove 32V engine crank bolt, we need a pulley locking tool which is sold for about $100 on the net. I made one myself just to use for a few times. Cost about $15.00. The cut for the stars should fit snug and not loose, so don't cut them too wide. Everything was bought in Lowes.
